from memory (it's been 6 years since I've looked at Pick under AIX),
this is a Pick spooler thing. Of course it may be a feature of the
application that you are running. Back in the "good old days" we
always used to print "End Of Job" at the end, so that users knew
that no pages were missing.

It's a bug in the "lppick" shared printer driver for D3... We had problems
with it too. Get the lastest "lppick" binary from Raining Data, and all
should be well.
